Soul of Burning Steel

Since coming to Moldavia, Joshua has not restricted Surarno's freedom.

Nominally, the opponent was his captive, but in reality, the soldiers just regarded him as an employee picked from the battlefield, and there was no interrogation. Joshua was not at all afraid that Sularno would feel resentful for hurting him, and then retaliate, because the warrior knew that the other party did not dare.

In fact, being able to use his injuries to stay away from the conspiracy-ridden Far South is a good thing for the Blue Dragon. From the beginning, Suralno didn’t intend to participate in such crazy things as the Dragon War, although he did because He had some emotions towards Joshua because of his injury, but fear was far greater than resentment. Revenge was almost impossible. On the contrary, it might be possible to escape.

But even the fear is gradually dissipated because of the soldiers' indulgentness.

In the most recent period, Suralno has been staying near the Winterhold Academy as a ‘special mentor personally invited by the dean’, and has been taking care of the young dragons with the school’s mentor. In addition, he occasionally goes to the college to serve as a substitute teacher to teach students some rare magic skills.

Any high-level adult dragon has a profound heritage of magic and an indestructible body. They are a natural fortress of war and a secret storehouse of knowledge. The magic of dragons has always been heavily written in legends and stories, and this is indeed the case, Sural The special magic skills taught by Nuo are unheard of even by some instructors and have great research value.

The well-respected blue dragon did not encounter any difficulties, but received many praises, and even taking care of the young dragon was not as troublesome as he imagined. A human mage named Theodore would have been working for most of the time. Arranged, and refused to let go, those young dragons that were as terrifying as war magic in the mouth of a single male dragon became well-behaved creatures like domestic dogs under this man — a bit like huskies at best.

Now, Sullarno only needs to take the baby dragon for a walk around in normal times. Apart from being unable to fly around the world freely, his life is no worse than before, and even better in terms of food, so this blue head After thinking about it for a while, Long decided to come to the Lord's Mansion and take the initiative to tell Joshua some secrets that he hadn't asked before.

Suralno can probably guess that his current boss in name is a warrior whose mission is to destroy Chaos. He feels that Joshua definitely needs this information.

"As everyone knows, the dragons on the Mykrov continent are divided into two types: primitive dragons and astral dragons."

After thinking about it for a while, the blue dragon said to Joshua in a clear voice: "The original dragons are all kinds of dragon beasts and ancient dragon heirs naturally born in the local area. Most of them don't have it. Wisdom belongs to the uncivilized group. The astral dragon is the five-color dragon and the metal dragon."

These are all information known to people on the mainland who have a little knowledge of the Dragon Clan. Qiao Xiuya nodded slightly. He naturally knew about these things, but because he was a little interested in the information that Sularno was going to talk about later, he also Just listen patiently.

"Scholars among humans often say that the body structure of giant dragons is completely different from that of many races on the mainland, and there is no even the slightest similarity. Even if they look similar to dragons and beasts, they are actually different in nature. Therefore, giant dragons In fact, they are not the aboriginal people of Mycroft." Suralno shrugged when he said this, "They are right. Although the dragons have never admitted, the earliest dragons did and This world has nothing to do with it, just temporarily settled in the Mycroft Continent."

Having said this, the blue dragon's expression became serious, and even a little bit self-deprecating: "According to the history passed down in my blood, our dragon was thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago. Because of the terrible disaster in our hometown, we can’t afford it. Without leaving the original world, fleeing to other planes in the void, in a sense, it is a refugee."

"There is still such a statement?"

Joshua raised his brows. He had heard some of these things before, but at that time, most people thought that dragons should be a race that colonized the entire multiverse, and he was the same. But now it seems that this matter is a bit familiar.

Because of disasters in my hometown, I had to flee... Isn’t this the same as the Ilgna world, the elves who were taken to escape by the father of nature? Could it be said that the world of giant dragons was once attacked by evil gods?

It was indeed a very possible thing, Joshua thought for a while, and then asked Suralno to continue speaking.

"Since I am a refugee, one thing is actually quite clear." The blue-haired elf bard closed his eyes and let out a sigh: "There are always dragons who want to go home, and there are always dragons who want to stay. Although the dragons have lost their civilization, there are not so many natural enemies and powerful existences that can threaten the dragon on Mykrov. After a period of cultivation, the dragon group split, and some dragons single-mindedly wanted to plunder the world. Resources are used to return to the hometown, even if the hometown has been destroyed, we still have to see its remains, and some dragons decided to take root in this world and completely become a part of the Mycroft continent."

"In the ancient times, the first civil war between the five-color dragon and the metal dragon." Joshua's heart moved, and he seemed to understand what Sularno wanted to say.

"Yes, the five-color dragon and the metal dragon split at that time." Nodding in agreement with the warrior's statement, the blue dragon continued: "The five-color dragon I belong to is the descendant of the group of dragons who wanted to go home wholeheartedly. , So the five-color dragon never regards itself as part of this continent. They disdain to abide by the rules of any local aboriginals, but plunder whatever they want by themselves. As a member of the assimilation, the metal dragon is naturally It’s the opposite."

"The two fought with each other, so that both sides could not achieve their goals. The five-color dragon could not successfully collect materials and start a voyage in the void, and the metal dragon was also questioned because of the bad reputation brought by the five-color dragon. , The two sides even forgot their goals, they were fighting each other purely because of past grievances, and this dragon disaster, it was precisely because the metal dragon **** lost to the five-color dragon **** in the civil war, so they could only go from the far south. Avoid, don’t participate in this war."

Sularno slowly said that many things were said from his mouth, and he had a perspective that was completely different from that of human beings. According to the blue dragon, this dragon disaster should actually be part of the preparation for the return home. , The large amount of wealth and resources robbed from the Far South Kingdom and the elves were sent to a five-color dragon gathering place he didn't know, in preparation for marching in the void, and why did he deliberately attack the Far South and the Seven Gods? The church, which is also different from human cognition, has another explanation.

"The mad dragon army can attack any place on the Mykrov continent. Except that the northern empire at the northernmost point is a bit troublesome, the western mountains and eastern plains are better targets than the far south, which is full of dense forests. However, according to Lan The patriarch of the dragon, the legendary dragon Ritya said that the reason why the dragon **** chose Yuannan as the battlefield was because we needed to find something."

This, without a doubt, is top secret. Sularno said that this is a secret message that only the Extremely Intent Grade dragon can know, and Joshua has indeed never heard of any similar rumors in her previous life. For the first time, the warrior's complexion began to show curiosity and doubts: "What is it? Why would the five-color dragon go to war with the holy mountain, the elves and the three powers of the Far South Kingdom at all costs?"

"I don't know... Rhetia didn't say too much, it just emphasized repeatedly that this has a great relationship with the five-color dragon's return home."

Sularno frowned, the pupils in his eyes contracted for a moment, and then returned to normal: "But I vaguely remember that it was talking to itself, and it was mentioned when talking to other legendary dragons. A peculiar robe originating from the Church of the Seven Gods was once collected in a large tribe of elves, and then spread to the Far South Kingdom."

"They said that it should be a treasure belonging to the dragon family, because it can only be used by the existence of the dragon bloodline. It records the secrets needed for the five-color dragon to return home. Because of this, it is attacking the elves and tribes. Outside the Far Southern Kingdom, the mad dragon went to besiege the holy mountain."

"But I don't believe it." Blue Dragon shook his head and said, "Since it is a robe, it should be used by humanoid creatures. What does it have to do with our dragon? Since Ke'anuo returned from the void, it has become more and more weird. After that, the upper level of the five-color dragon is always so chaotic." He reminded: "But even so, the mad dragon army is inevitable danger. Recently, Rhetia is resonating with blood, and the whole world has called the blue dragons. , I think they must have not given up yet and have to do something-for example, opening the door of the abyss."

When he said this, Sularno looked serious, not like joking: "Trust me, they do it."

"Whether it's true or not, this news is very useful." Qiao Xiuya didn't care too much. He nodded in praise: "Even if everything else is false, as long as you know the general goal of the five-color dragon clan and recent trends, These things alone are enough to alert the holy mountain. Sularno, it's good."

"It is my honor to be able to help you."

The blue-haired elf bowed slightly, and the things he came here had been done, so he left. With a wave of teleportation fluctuations, Suralno left the lord's mansion. The soldier continued to stay at the top of the tower, thinking about these things.

"...Robe." He frowned, his eyes looked down on the street that was gradually becoming lively, but his eyes widened, and he fell into thinking: "The robe related to the Church of the Seven Gods, I always feel like I have heard it somewhere."

Joshua's instinct reminded him that this incident might not be false, and even if the robe had nothing to do with the five-color dragon's return home, it must be the opponent's goal. But reasoning about the correlation between these information is beyond the fighter's ability.

But before Joshua could think about it for too long, behind him, there was another slight wave of magical power.

Joshua turned his head and saw the long hair floating in the air, and the magic projection of No. 3 appeared in front of him.

"Joshua." After the projection was finished, No. 3 opened his eyes and greeted softly: "Breakfast is ready. Are you going to wait for everyone to start, or are you going to go now?"

"Wait a while." The soldier casually said: "What have you been up to lately? I don't think I see you anymore."

This is a fact. Because the body is a rune crystal, the external image is nothing but a magical projection. No. 3 was originally ubiquitous in the main city of Moldavia. She could even observe the world on the street while interacting with Murray. Sub-telecom, exchange of alchemy rune information, and directing all kinds of housekeeping work in the lord's mansion-No. 3 can even help Rin handle government affairs at the same time, help Firefly sort out the study documents, and catch four or five cultists by the way.

But since Joshua came back last time, he feels that the ubiquitous presence of No. 3 seems to be a little weak-if it is not necessary, such as telling himself to eat, artificial intelligence rarely appears in front of him. .

But this was not an important thing. After Joshua said casually, he did not continue to think, and No. 3 did not answer. Instead, after a silent meeting, he said in a serious tone: "Joshua... There is one thing to notify you."

"What's the matter?" Joshua couldn't help being a little curious. This morning, just now, Suralno said a lot of interesting news, and now, No. 3 seems to have something to say, and the soldiers can't help feeling a little bit By coincidence.

"I don't know if you remember Mr. Carlos." No. 3's voice was calm: "This is news about him."

"Alfonso Carlos?" Hearing the familiar name, Joshua quickly remembered: "The one who took care of the family business for me in the Imperial Capital? Of course, I remember that the last few times I went to the Imperial Capital, they were all in He rests there, and I often write to him to communicate."

The family business of the Radcliffe family is to sell high-quality ores, and the heraldic of the sword-holding hand symbolizes the largest supplier of high-quality ores in the Northern Empire. Because of the special support of the empire, the Radcliffe family is even the exclusive supplier of raw materials for the five directly affiliated legions. It is precisely because of this that Joshua was able to directly enter the Black Crow legion and become a small commander of its forward army.

Recently, the Radcliffe family’s industry is gradually transforming. Due to the cooperation with the rune dwarves of the North, the entire family has begun to integrate the industry chain, that is, ore, smelting, and finished weapons and armor. Although this is not completely unclear, he is indeed not interested. Alfonso Carlos is his appointed manager. This experienced Northland Chamber of Commerce president knows what to do, but in fact, he does a good job. , Moldavia led to ample funds, far better than before, allowing Joshua to develop the territory at will and open academies and rune factories.

"What's up with him?"

Thinking of this, Qiao Xiu asked in a deep voice, No. 3's expression and tone made him feel that something was not right, and he couldn't wait to know what the news was.

However, No. 3 was not disturbed by the soldiers, and still said softly: "Originally, Mr. Carlos would report the work situation and data of the week once a week. This is always handled by Rin and me, so he will specially Greet us at the end of the letter... Mr. Carlos is a very punctual person. Even if it is occasionally delayed due to accidents, he will quickly make up in a few days. But in the past month or so, the report he sent is not only not punctual, but also Full of errors, omissions and contradictions, this'Mr. Carlos' doesn't even know that Rin and I are the one handling these things."

Qiao Xiuya frowned quickly ~www.novelmtl.com~ but immediately eased, he was silent for a moment, and then said in a faint tone: "It seems that the problem is very big."

"Yes." Miss Artificial Intelligence nodded slightly: "If you just talk about reporting, ordinary people might have been concealed by him, but I can detect every error in his handwriting and the difference in the habit of using words... If it's not funds I have been remitting normally. I will tell you about it a few days ago. After all, there is also the possibility of being unwell and temporarily handing over the work to other people. Last time he also said that he wants to train his eldest son to take over the part. jobs."

"So how is it now?"

"Now, all news is broken."

At this point, No. 3's tone paused slightly, and Miss Artificial Intelligence's voice became colder: "I suspect, Mr. Carlos, is already dead."
